Clippard

It looks like the great Clippard debate will really get going now as it appears he is going to be called up to pitch for Sunday against the Mets.
He was pulled after striking out the side in the 1st inning.
Awaiting text message confirmation from him now but it certainly appears its a go.
Let the debate begin!

What Debate?

Gorkys Hernandez is my new favorite player (my tribute to VTTigers)

is he a #3 or a long reliever

...or back of the rotation at best.

okay

Prett LARGE difference between a solid #3 starter and a long man, wouldn't you think. Is that your way of saying you don't know how good he'll be?

No

He's explaining what the debate about Clippard on this site has been. The majority of people here seem to feel Clippard is a long man/5th starter. I'm in the 3rd starter camp on Clippard, I think he can be a solid mid rotation guy.

the

stats vs. stuff argument that always pops up with him

Funny thing

about this nonsense about Clippard is I watched him in spring and i mthought he had good stuff. Better than Rasner or Desavlvo but, I guess that isnt saying a lot.
